Ah, the separation of state and church... Fundamentalist countries seem to have a problem with it though...

Well, this is what happens when you forbid Sharia law in your state.

Has he ever cut his hair? Shaved? Changed any way God made him?

In any case, yes, but its easier and cheaper to move somewhere else than appeal a case like that. Unless you hit the lambda jackpot.

What's the difference between applying Sharia law in courtrooms and christian law in courtrooms?

Nada. Zero. Zilch.

Ah, that's what you think. I had a similar discussion a while back, and a Christian taught me how it is: Sharia is no law, that's just something a few oppressive lunatics do to other people. The bible however is the word of the lord, and therefore should be applied in court.

See? Simple as that...

Seems simple, Olaf Fichtner, and you can't fault his logic. Ha ha ha!
